How to Make Any Fantasy Scene More Exciting (The SLED Method)


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself writing a scene in your fantasy novel that just felt a little boring?


Well, there’s a simple approach you can use to fix that and make any scene more exciting.


I call this the SLED method.


And it’s a technique I’ve used again and again through the last 12 years of my writing career, in which time I’ve published four fantasy novels and a video game.

It hasn’t just worked for me. I’ve taught 150+ fantasy writers in my different classes and programs, and this has given me a lot of experience of using the SLED method to troubleshoot scenes and help to improve them.


So today, I’ll show you how to use it to make any scene more exciting, because knowing how to write great scenes is the foundation of writing a great novel.
